Oosh, saw your iphone app reasoning, does the same reasoning fall into an Android app?

Is there any way you can make this so it keeps the premium forums at the top of the list instead of in the middle on my favorite list?

PS I'm posting this from my new iPhone 3GS and it's so smooth. I am sure I'll be using this a ton!

The M&W articles still don't format to my HTC Snap screen. Besides that it's allllsome.

preparations for signing day have delayed things a bit, but I'll get the next features out asap.

McInnis, yes, currently there are no plans for native apps on any mobile platform.

nactownag, i'll get that corrected. favorites should list in the same order they do in the global forum list.

Good news... I got the green light to develop the ability to post from within the mobile app! it will take some time, but I'll begin on it as soon as I'm done with last few features or "release 2". we will hold off on the public release of the site until this feature has been implemented and thuroughly tested out by you guys.

PJYoung, we'll get to that eventually, but it is beyond the immediate, upcoming releases

FYI to anyone that has an iPhone 3GS...I just figured out how easy it is to take screenshots for you to post.

Just hold down the menu button and the power button at the same time. Voila!

Anyone using this successfully on a Blackberry Curve 8900? My Curve 8310 gives a decent browser experience thru Opera Mini, however when you attempt to reply to a post it takes you to the full version of TA then once you reply you are returned to the main home page.

...this is working as designed, but it will be fixed/improved in the near future.

Oh the gb right now there is a thread call Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh that throws off the frame for the thread list and allows for side to side scrolling on my iPhone. Not sure if that is by design or not.

Blackberry 9000. 3G. Opera Mini.

On the forums page, sometimes I click on a forum and it takes me to the wrong forum. Click Home Improvement, get Austin. Click Football Other, get Basketball Other. Etc.

Not every time, just sometimes. But when it's happening, it seems to keep happening until I reload.

Nevermind. Just saw you support 4.7+, and I'm 4.6.

Are you able to look at the texags home page from the mobile version or just the forums?
ooshwa
How long do you want to ignore this user?
currently, just the forums

Considering a good portion of the content on the home page is Flash, we may have to wait until the phones (iPhone, Pre, etc) can use Flash. I don't think we're too far away from that though.

maybe, but who knows. jobs called macromedia lazy the other day.

Yeah, I forgot about the spat between Apple and Adobe. At least I know the Pre is getting Flash fairly soon.

HTML5, come on!

Since all the links on the front page to articles are simple HTML links, could you make a link to a page that has all those links in a mobile friendly format?

The iphone will NEVER have flash. Jobs doesn't want you to be able to watch TV and movies for free. he wants you to buy them through itunes.

Apple does support HTML 5 in iPhone OS 3.2 (not released yet), but it only supports open formats (ogg). For example, Youtube supports HTML 5 right now, but it uses h.264 which is a proprietary format. Mozilla refuses to include any proprietary software in firefox, so you can't use HTML 5 youtube in firefox. IMO youtube needs to drop h.264 b/c they have to pay a royalty EVERY time they encode something in that format, whereas OGG is similar in quality and is completely free and supported by ALL modern browsers.

okay, so i'm just now giving this a go. Here is what i am using.

Phone: HTC Ozone
OS: Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
Browser: Skyfire v1.1.0.13052 www.skyfire.com

the "down arrow" that is supposed be be next to "texags BETA" is actually its own bar above it, and does nothing but reloads the page when you click it.

The "next" button on mult-page threads is MIA, only the "last" button is available.

"Next" button appears on a forum board.

I don't know how to take screenshots, so I hope this was helpful.

Love the site, keep up the great work!

Kept getting a runtime error earlier this evening. Was able to load the forums page, but got the error when clicking on a specific thread:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
thanks hatchback, I'll take a look through the error logs and see if I can find what happened.

thanks TexasAggie_02, i'll see if I can't find out a little more about skyfire and why it does what it does

I've added a small amount of graphics to enhance the look of things. Speed should not be affected as all graphics are contained within two files totaling 10k. Most likely, these files will be cached by your phones browser.

Forum emoticons were also combined into one image file for effeciency.

A forced refresh will be required for things to look right. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Looks good though the Reply and Post New Topic graphics are teases for the forthcoming mobile posting.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes! Thanks for the Ag Tags and the Legend tags.

Much better.

Another idea....

Maybe make the threads posted by staff a slightly different color? This would make things easier to pick out on the M&W board especially.

A slight shade of red seems to work quite well on my computer.
nactownag
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Would also be cool if you could make it so the recruit videos work on my iPhone...HTML5?

Not sure exactly since f'n iPhones don't work with flash.

The audio stuff works fine which is really nice.

ooshwa,

HTC Touch here running Windows Mobile 6.1...

Ag tags and the other tags not working so well for me. It bumps the images down to the line below the user names and basically indents every post. I wish i knew how to print screen or i would...

Things are looking great! Keep up the good work!

Noticed something funny when loading the site in my browser on my MacBook Pro:



I know the site isn't meant to be viewed on a normal browser, but found the extra faces to be an interesting thing. Didn't know if y'all knew about this or not. Or, if it messes with the performance of the mobile site at all.
